What is the ground clearance of Model 3 and Model Y?
1 Answers
Model Y has a ground clearance of 166mm, while Model 3 has a ground clearance of 138mm. Impact of ground clearance on vehicles: The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the higher center of gravity reduces stability; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the lower center of gravity increases stability. Ground clearance in SUVs: In SUVs, the minimum ground clearance often determines the vehicle's off-road capability. Additionally, due to the different drivetrain configurations compared to sedans, the minimum ground clearance in sedans or sports cars usually refers to the vertical distance between the ground and the lowest point of the vehicle's underbody or chassis components. In SUVs, it more commonly refers to the vertical distance between the ground and the lowest components on the front or rear axle.
